May 2014

May brought us baseball, a spring dance, field day and end-of-year awards assemblies.

Layton was the only one who played baseball this year and was lucky enough to have his dad as his coach.  Layton is quiet the hustler when it comes to sports and always tries to do his very best.  He improved each game and had a good season.







Layton is on the far left end on the bottom row (if you are looking at pic).

Kade attended the middle school student council spring dance on May 2nd.  The theme was a luau. Kade loves dancing and having fun, so of course, he had a blast.






Layton's elementary school held their field day the next to last day of school.  He had fun competing and playing with his friends one last time before summer vacation.  His class also celebrated his summer birthday that day, so I was able to take Spiderman cookies.

Both boys had a great school year and Clint and I couldn't be more proud of their accomplishments.  

Layton struggled at the beginning of first grade, but with a lot of hard work and dedication he was above average by the time May rolled around.  Layton received the reading award for his classroom.  He made it to 100 AR points the last week of school!  There were only two first graders who accomplished this.


Kade is a great student and I am so thankful for that.  He received the following awards.
AR Award (180.8 points)
Million Word Club (1,251,707 words)
Character Counts Award (one boy and one girl are chosen from each grade by their peers)
A Honor Roll (entire year)
Top Ranking 6th Grade Student


PROUD MAMA!

Let's Play Ball!

Layton played little league baseball during May and June.  This was his first year in the machine pitch league and he did great!  He alternated between shortstop, pitcher and second/third base positions.

Texas Rangers Game

When we went to DFW on our mini-vacation we also caught a Texas Rangers game.  Clint had been to a game or two before, but the boys and I had never been.  

We first went to the stadium to take a tour. 


We had a good view of Cowboys Stadium.


 These are the entrances to the suites.


In the tunnel where the players, umps, etc. walk around and get from place to place.

Batting practice.  That is Josh Hamilton.  There was a little boy in the cage playing around and Hamilton sat and watched him and told him how good he was doing.

Kade and Clint in the dugout.

We then went back at 7p.m. and caught the game.  Texas Rangers vs. the New York Mets.  The Rangers won!

Dirk Nowitzki (NBA MVP) threw out the first pitch.




Kinsler.  We had awesome seats.  We were 7 rows up from home plate.

Hamilton




 If you look on the first row, you can see President Bush in the green shirt and Nolan Ryan right next to him.  We were maybe 25 yards away from them!






After the game they shot fireworks. 










We had a great time and look forward to going back one day.
